David explains how OSHA has revolutionized workplace safety by giving workers the right to a safe workplace and making employers responsible for providing a workplace free of recognized hazards. OSHA has had a huge impact, reducing workplace fatalities from 37 to 14 a day, and decreasing chemical exposures and asbestos exposure. However, OSHA's job is to make workplaces safer, not safe, and the big challenge now is dealing with infectious disease.
